Carsick? This remedy will get rid of it instantly

I am fortunately not car sick myself, but if someone next to me starts throwing up, I will too. So you understand: with a brother who gets as sick as a dog in any moving vehicle, it was a party every year when we left for Spain by car. No pill or wristband could help here. Little did we know: the miracle cure for motion sickness can simply be found in the fruit bowl at home.

Research has shown that just the smell of a lemon can suppress nausea. The strong citrus scent of lemon would activate the olfactory receptors in the brain, which can help enhance your senses and distract you from the nauseous feeling. Moreover, the smell and taste of lemon juice can stimulate the production of endorphins and relieve pain, which can contribute to alleviating motion sickness.

The reason for motion sickness is often a conflict between your sensory perception: your ears hear that you are in a car, while your eyes are busy reading a text on your phone. This combination does not work well together, causing you to feel nauseous. The strong scent of a lemon can help distract from that nausea.

In pregnant women, it has at least been shown to work. During a research the women who regularly smelled lemon juice experienced less nausea. So it really works.
